Abstract :This study aimed to identify suitable safflower cultivars for the climatic conditions of Diyarbakır, conducted over the 2016 and 2017 growing seasons. The experiment was designed using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The cultivars used in this study were Balcı, Dinçer, Linas, Olas, and Remzibey-05. Based on the two-year average, the highest seed yield was obtained from the Balcı cultivar (2360 kg ha−1), while the Linas cultivar produced the lowest seed yield (2015 kg ha−1). Other key findings the highest oil yield was obtained from the Balcı cultivar (789 kg ha−1), while the Remzibey-05 cultivar produced the lowest oil yield (601 kg ha−1) and the highest oil ratio was obtained from the Olas cultivar (34,6 %), while the Dinçer cultivar produced the lowest oil ratio (26,6%). Besides, plant height (108,2-119,0 cm), head number per plant (15,2-16,1), head diameter (2,09-2,22 cm), and thousand seed weight (34,8-39,6 g) were determined. Based on the results of this two-year study, the Balcı cultivar seems to be the most suitable choice for cultivation under the specific conditions of Diyarbakır and in delayed winter safflower plantings.
